Thunder Bay è una città del Canada, nella provincia dell'Ontario. Contava 109.140 abitanti al censimento della popolazione del 2006, il che la rende la più popolosa dell'Ontario occidentale, e la seconda più popolosa del Nord Ontario dopo Greater Sudbury.

Storia

L'insediamento europeo nella regione iniziò nel tardo 1600, con un avamposto commerciale francese sulle rive del fiume Kaministiquia.[1] La città venne formata nel 1970 dalla fusione delle città di Fort William, Port Arthur e dai paesi di Neebing e McIntyre.

La città prende il nome dalla grande baia del Lago Superiore sulla quale si affaccia, conosciuta nel XVIII secolo come "Baie du Tonnerre" (Baia del tuono).[1]

Economia

Il punto in cui si trova la rende un nodo commerciale di una certa importanza, soprattutto per quanto riguarda il grano e altri prodotti provenienti dal Canada occidentale attraverso i Grandi Laghi. La silvicoltura è stata elemento fondante dell'economia della città anche se in declino negli ultimi anni. All'economia tradizionale si sta sostituendo un'economia della conoscenza, basata sulla ricerca medica e sull'istruzione.

Sport

In passato la città è stata una stazione sciistica specializzata nello sci nordico, attrezzata con il trampolino Big Thunder, ora smantellato; ha ospitato i Mondiali della disciplina nel 1995.
